Bill O’Reilly’s Cameraman Shreds The Last Threads Of His Falklands Lies
‘After a call from a cameraman friend, I watched Bill O’Reilly’s report filed in 1982 from Buenos Aires for CBS during the Falkland War posted a few weeks ago on the Mother Jones web page. The part that caught my attention was Mr. O’Reilly’s claim that he helped his cameraman to safety who was bleeding out of his ear after he fell when chased by the army.Ninety-nine percent of the footage in that report was shot by me. Does that make me his cameraman? I never fell nor was I bleeding out my ear at any time during my Buenos Aires assignment. I do not even recall Mr. O’Reilly being near me when I shot all that footage nor after I left the unrest at Plaza de Mayo that evening. But it is not uncommon to be separated from your reporter during a disturbance such as that one.
So…no riot. No bleeding from his ear. Nothing to corroborate Billo’s bluster, but plenty to contradict it. Except Bill is pulling the usual nonsense and claiming that he never, ever, ever worked with this guy and it’s all a left-wing plot.’
